Moore Rodin at Compton Verney

This ground-breaking international exhibition compared the work of two giants of modern sculpture: Henry Moore and Auguste Rodin. It was the first exhibition to be devoted exclusively to these artists, with major works being displayed in our ‘Capability’ Brown landscape as well as in our exhibition spaces.

Eleven large scale works were placed in the Park to complement, challenge and create new perspectives to vistas ‘Capability’ Brown formed in the 1760s. Amongst these amazing pieces is one of Rodin’s most famous works, Monument to the Burghers of Calais (usually on display outside the Houses of Parliament),Moore’s magnificent monumental Three Piece Sculpture: Vertebrae and The Arch.
